As you found out, most commercial video tapes are "copy protected". There is a product called Video CopyMaster made by Sima that will clean up the video for you. My model is SED-CM. Bought at Best Buy for about $50. It's completely legal to use as long as it's your video! If that's your major hanging point, that should get you going. Converting 650 tapes is going to take a long, long time and you're looking at about $2000 in blank DVDs, assuming $3 a DVD. Good luck
